This Exploring Sinusoidal Functions assessment also includes:
What effect does changing a parameter have on the graph of a trigonometric function? Pupils use a Desmos applet to explore the general sine graph. They experiment changing different parameters and record the resulting change of the graph. To round out the lesson, scholars generate a general description of the effects.
